I have hundreds of art postcards. What can I do with them?

Help me please, I want to do something creative with them as decoration in the house without it looking poncy/cheesy/studenty etc. Has anyone got any ideas?? Thanks a billion!

Scan them all, set them up in batches on A2 or A1 sheets in e.g. Photoshop in rows, say 8 across 20 down (so it's like a chessboard of tiny pics if that makes sense), get the sheets professionally printed and framed. Depending on how many postcards you have I'd imagine you ending up with a series of 6 or so big prints which from a distance look v colourful and detailed, sort of Klimt like - when you get up close you see that they're made up of lots of tiny art pics.

Actually I think more than that if A1 sized - more like 15 across 30 down. Could look amazing!

I think pin with nice pins onto a massive cork board

Oh thankyou! cybbo yours is the easier option, but Crunch's sounds good too!

or cheap ikea frames like this and cover one whole wall in a room or the big wall going up the stairs.

Paper the downstairs loo with them!

ooh those frames look good, thanks!

monal: if only I had a downstairs loo :)
